Anyone else here have a crazy slr like mine, Id really like to learn some tricks on photoshop..

[John Hartman]

Best suggestion I can give you about photography(and you do seem to have a good eye for it) is to take a night course at a local college.  Cost you about $150 or so and it will give you SOOOOO much more knowledge its not even funny.

I took one and I use a very old film SLR camera because it takes VERY clear photos and is FULLY manual with NO automatic options so you HAVE to learn to use the camera, not just put it on auto and go.

My digital camera, while not QUITE up to the quality of yours(Jamie) is quite good too, and all of that knowledge is very useful with it.

But, learn composition, aperature, shutter, use of tripods, etc, and then when you are really good at that, then go onto photoshop.  Because no matter what you do to your photos digitally, its still the original photo that matters.

Also another place to hang out is on Flickr.  Some very good groups to join about photography, from beginners to professionals.  Some of those shots are absolutely amazing...

hey john,

were you required to have your own camera when you took that course?
i am brutal when it comes to taking pictures, i have a full deck of pics that are all fuzzy, they were from a few wicked car shows

[John Hartman]

yea its best if you bring your own as you will learn on it.  If you use someone elses you will still not know about how to work your own.  You will have the basic knowledge, but not the know how on the controls of your own camera.
